I guess this is an actual timeline now?

Midatlantica Legislative election, 2017, was held on 15 November, 2017, to elect all 420 members of the Midatlantican National Assembly. The election followed a presidential election two months before, on 5 September, which was won by Thomas Robert Stevens. The party founded by Stevens leading up to the election, Pennsylvania Alternative, formed a coalition with the Pennsylvania National League, a collection of right-populist and conservative parties. The coalition picked up 160 seats, mainly at the expense of the centre-right Federalist Party, which was reduced to holding only 25 seats, and the centre-left Labor Party, which was left with 175. The Greens, led by Cheri Honkala, secured two seats (down from five in 2013), and the right-Americanist Reunification Party, maintained control of one seat. This election marked the lowest ever seat total for the Federalists, and the first non-centre left or centre right government since the brief two-year period of control by the Worker's Party from 1946 to 1948.

Pat Toomey, with PA Alternative's victory, became president of the legislature, being replaced in his position as an MAP via a special election in January of 2018. Toomey's success in leading PA Alternative to victory is oftentimes contributed to a rise in terrorist attacks and a subsequent increase in sentiments of xenophobia, which PA Alternative played on by integrating promises of limiting immigration into its national platform. These actions sometimes led to accusations of racism or "racial insensitivity" on the part of Toomey and PA Alternative, the likes of which Toomey himself dismissed as "a perturbing display of ignorance and lack of regard for national safety." Among polled voters, the situation in Saudi Arabia and its impacts on Midatlantica ranked second in importance only to gun control and gun rights.

Almost immediately after the election, Labor and the Federalists formed a, albeit entirely symbolic, coalition as a sign of moderate solidarity in the face of rising radicalism. The two parties pledged to support one another, with the goal of, as Labor Party leader Conor Lamb put it, "restore and maintain sanity."

The results of this election marked the only time, thus far, when an American Union country voted to install a right-populist government, although the Carolina Strong party came in second place in the 2017 Carolinian presidential election and a general election will be held in Virginia by 19 June, 2018, with the Virginia Reform Party looking to contest.

The Federal States, the Executive Premiers, and Afro-American Federal Americans
In The Great American Divide

Richard Cordray is a major Federal States politician and the 7th Head-Premier of the Federal States of America. Elected in the contentious 2014 Election, he became the first member of the Social Labor party to win in the Federal States, after being in a constant minority status due to the disgraced Epton Government. Cordray, aged 59, was already known on the national stage for his passionate crusades against the late Santorum governments banking deregulation efforts. Richard a graduate of Michigan State and Brasenose mostly kept a low profile during the Revolutionary period saying later in his life that he actively formed himself as a member of the progressive resistance, becoming a member of the Coalition for Greater Freedom early in his life. Following Epton's death, he became active in politics forming the wave of political newcomers who came to occupy the now many vacant offices throughout the land. Running on an anti-corruption message that plagued the still new Ernie Fars mayorship (who himself ran in the first mayor's election after the revolution under the anti-corruption philosophy) he was able to become Mayor of Cleveland.

He would keep true on his message cleaning up the city hall firing all former Fars-era associates, while also being able to rebuild much of the city's infrastructure, much of it damaged from the Revolution, most specifically the Battle of Cleveland. However, his time in the Mayoral seat would be short as he took the position as a stepping stone, taking an easy council-seat from the controversial and embattled George Voinovich, with his deputy Dennis Kucinich taking his former seat in Cleveland. In the Senate, at first, he proved a key ally for Head-Premier Ralph Nader, who was a member of the CGF, providing a key vote for massive infrastructure projects and environmental preservation efforts. But, Nader's successor Rick Santorum would not hold such friendly relations, in-fact Cordray opening saying in 2009 that Santorum was the "puppet of the corporate class". His long fillibusters helped bring attention to many of the banking deregulation and welfare cutting the administration did enact, regardless of the fact most of it easily passing the Popular Front lead congress. In Socialist Labor circles, yet, he proved a saint and one of the parties brightest prospects going into the 2014 general. When he announced his candidacy he easily crushed party opposition and won the primary winning 59% of the vote to his runner-up New Yorker Bernard Sanders who proved the left opposition to the mainstream progressivism Cordray brought.

Polling showed he was the strongest Social Labor had ever been during this new republic too. Meanwhile, the Santorum administration was growing increasingly unpopular due to seemingly Orwellian actions regarding Homosexuals and a downturn in the economy, along with record high Social Labor turnout with strong Black support resulted in Cordray becoming the first Social Labor Head-Premier. His Vice-Premier Harry Johnson coincidentally also became the first Afro-American Federal American too hold as high an office since the Epton administration. However, most importantly the election brought a wave for the party bringing them a seeming supermajority in all congressional houses. His signature achievements up to this date include the Banking Reform Act removing many of the Santorum-era deregulations, a period of thawing against the Eurasian Union, and the Reform of Interest Representation Act removing politically motivated financial lobbying in all forms, a move considered too radical in some circles. These actions were able to rebound the economy, with unemployment dropping from 18.7% to 15.4%. To this day he remains popular with 56% approvals, looking strong against opposition candidate Kirsten Gillibrand and favored to keep his seat.

The Federal States of America is a federated political unit and a congressional republic holding lands considered the Northeast, Midwest, and Great Plains regions of the former United States. Forming following the Second American Revolution, it was a pet project of Bill Eptons, becoming the 'Peoples Republic of America' and allying itself with a now victorious Soviet Union and Communist China. Epton began a 10 year long period of 'terror' silencing opposition and cementing the Social Labor party as the sole leader of the country. Being a Black Nationalist, he held himself on a thin line in a mostly White country wanting to avoid racial war. Yet he became one of the most vocal advocates for the Oppression of Negro Americans in the Southern States openly calling the South 'Jim Crow' and 'White Supremacist' on more then one occasion, even if the Southern Government desperately tried to avoid such labels to attract foreign investment.

Thus he partook in a period of great Black migration from the South to the North to be known as the Third Great Migration and leaving many parts of the Black Delta seemingly avoiding of such Black populations as had seen before. Increasingly the Black Population from 14% to 29% at its peak, many White Americans thought this meant their demographic demise and Anti-Government White Supremacist groups became rampant going into the late 1980s. In fact, the Oklahoma State Government was taken over by the White Nationalist Oklahoma Freedom Party for a time, through the limited local elections allowed. Epton ordered the Government to be disbanded, with many of its members being openly killed. However, Oklahoma would never resort to the prior demographic white supermajority, with many Mississippi Delta residents fleeing to Tulsa and other Oklahoman city's meaning 41% of the population being AAFA by the middle 1990s. This period coincided with the assassination of Bill Epton and the resulting coup. Following a provisional government, in 1990 a Federal 'Congressional' Republic was declared, with the new nation self-proclaiming as the successor to the United States in all but name.

The war decimated the new nation and employment was up to 35% in many parts of the country up only until the middle 2000s. However, increasing economic prospects along with foreign investment have rebounded the country resulting it to a status of middle-power holding moderate to heavy influence in the World Stage. Its closest partner has proved to be the United Kingdom and surprisingly Eurasia, both helping aid the struggling country. In 2001, in a commitment to join itself in the international community, it joined NATO and the North American Partnership Zone. The war, yet, brought some lasting impacts to the nations psyche, with the highest percentage of self-reported atheists or non-believers in the Americas at almost 40%, rivaling the Western Confederation at 34%.

Harry Johnson is a major Federal States politician and the 11th Vice-Premier of the Federal States, becoming the first AAFA to hold such high office. Johnson, aged 38, was born in Tulsa from parents fleeing the South. Graduating from East Central, Oklahoma, and Columbia he took to political office early becoming 21 when he won in the newly created 13th district. He became an active voice for AAFA Oklahomans and was re-elected to his seat in a landslide. In 2006 he was able to oust incumbent Assembly Member David Boren at age 27, becoming the youngest Assembly Member to that date. He became a passionate voice for both infrastructure and the disenfranchised, also becoming a key leader of Social Labor at such a young age. When Cordray ran for President in 2014 thus he picked Johnson to both secure ideological support and hold AAFA support and turnout. Johnson is known for his passionate speeches and community outreach, often campaigning in many places regular politicians view as outliers, white or black.

Afro-American Federal Americans, AAFA, or Northern Black Americans are a key demographic group within the Federal States of America. Together with Caucasian Federal Americans, they form the bulk of the country's population, and as of 2016 hold 27.91% of the population. This is down from nearly 30% in 2010 due to better job prospects in the West or in Canada. Much of current AAFA's are first generation or second generation migrants from the Southern States, due to the Third Great Migration. They mostly settled in the Rural Southwest (Oklahoma, North Missouri, ext.) or in the many urban centers that the first or second migrations brought Blacks too, mainly New York City, Chicago, and new to the Washington D.C. - Richmond - Baltimore metro area. There they form demographic majority's and hold them in the states of Virginia, Delaware, and Maryland while holding majorities in NYC, Chicago, Washington D.C., Richmond, Baltimore, Albany, Trenton, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Tulsa, and Milwaukee to name a few. They also have a sizable minority in Oklahoma, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, North Missouri, Illinois, and Pennsylvania. Meanwhile, in the Federal States Caribbean colonies, related Afro-Caribean Federal Americans and Cuban Blacks hold sizable majorities in all but Puerto Rico. Altogether they have formed a key demographic and cultural component to the Federal States with its own Vice President being of Second Generation descent.

0.679 HDI yet a 38k average income? What is this country, developed, developing or just a country with a really bad wage gap.

I'd say most likely the later, though Cordray's reforms are significantly reducing said inequalities. The average minimum wage itself was artificially readjusted in the Early 2000s to also combat this issue, and it partially worked. Also, you must remember that the effects of the war are still affecting the country to this day.

Wow that is such an interesting state and a very cool scenario! Also could I see a close up of the map on that infobox if you have it?

A wikibox for Hurricane Igor in the TL Orange Tempest by Alternate History Geek. Basically, Hurricane Igor Literally takes a turn for the worst, utterly and completely annihilating Bermuda, New England (with a nuclear reactor in Cape Cod going meltdown), the Maritimes, and even causing severe damage in Great Britain.

And oh yeah, that’s only the beggining of the world’s problems TTL.

(Note: I couldn’t find anywhere the total damage Igor caused, so I took a guess. Be advised I am probably the least qualified person out there to make estimates of the damage of a nightmare scenario hurricane)

I kind of feel like I'm cranking these out too fast.

The Carolina presidential election, 2017, was held on 3 November, 2017, to elect the next president of the Republic of Carolina. Incumbent president John Edwards of Jones defeated senate majority leader Tim Scott of Union, thus securing a second term as president. This was the third ever election contested by the right-populist Carolina Strong party, and the third consecutive instance of the party's failure to secure the office.

John Edwards, and his Vice President, Steve Cohen, easily secured the nomination of the Democratic-Republican party without any major competition, but Carolina Strong's primaries were much more contentious, with 12 different candidates vying to become the party's nominee. Senator Tim Scott, after having secured Carolina Strong's nomination, selected Johnny Isakson, a leader of the party's radical wing, as his vice presidential pick. Alyson Kennedy, leader of the Carolina Left Group, made her fourth run for president, receiving the largest ever vote share for her party at 9.4%, and winning the state of Union by a narrow margin.

The loss of the senate by the Democratic-Republicans in the 2015 midterm elections made the later half of president Edwards' first term particularly difficult, as polling indicated a growing number of Carolinians perceived his administration to be ineffective in getting legislation passed. Despite this, a steadily improving economy and declining rates of terrorist activity allowed Edwards to regain ground with a newfound growth of support by early 2017. An additional factor that worked in Edwards' favor was a generally stronger charisma as compared to Scott, with only 36% of polled Carolinians picking the term "charismatic" to describe Scott.

Kennedy, despite her relatively low percentage of the vote share, is believed by many to have hurt Edwards' chances in the rural states of Union, Franklin, Cherokee, Hamilton, and Tennessee. This mainly occurred due to a deviation from the Left Group's "urban strategy" that had been tried in the previous three elections, with the party instead choosing to attack Edwards' image and to campaign in central Carolina.

Matt H. Watson (born February 5, 1996) is a Carolinian politician, political activist, and former internet entertainer from the Carolina state of Tidewater. He is a Democratic-Republican, representing the 14th congressional district of the state of Tidewater in the Carolina House of Representatives. His district includes the majority of eastern Greenville, as well as the communities of Simpson and outer Grimesland.

Before his career in politics, Watson was best known for his series of musical and comedy videos, which were posted on the video-sharing site YouTube and produced with his friend and current Charlotte Times columnist Ryan Magee. However, the events of the "Dixie War" between Carolina and the Union of Socialist American States (Watson's family ancestors themselves being refugees of the revolution that resulted in Georgia's transition to a communist government in 1924) in 2015 resulted in Watson's transition to political activism. Watson became a staunch and open anti-communist liberal, organizing rallies in favor of political and economic action against the U.S.A.S. and founding the "Carolina for Progress" activist group.

In January of 2018, Watson made his first run for public office, looking to fill the vacancy left in the House of Representatives by Bobbie Richardson, whose seat was being temporarily held by Allen Joines, after Richardson was tapped by president Edwards to serve as secretary of education. Watson, barely managing to receive the support of the national Democratic-Republicans, defeated strong opposition from the seasoned Tim Moore and won the seat by less than 300 votes.

Although Watson has very little in his legislative portfolio, he has been an open supporter of universal healthcare and gun control legislation, making public statements on his plans to vote for legislation supporting both of these causes.

The 2010 United Kingdom general election was held on Thursday, 6 May 2010, taking place in 650 constituencies across the United Kingdom to decide the make-up of the next House of Commons. The Conservative Party, led by David Cameron, won a landslide victory, achieving the highest seat total achieved by the Conservatives in the post-war era. Additionally, the Conservatives won their highest vote share since 1983. The incumbent Labour Party, meanwhile, fell to their lowest seat total since 1931, as Gordon Brown was emphatically rejected by the electorate. Whilst their vote share dropped by just over one and a half percent, Nick Clegg's Liberal Democrats lost almost half of their own seats, mainly due to the Conservative wave across the country.

From this post on Reddit, here's the 1936 Presidential election from Kaiserreich:

I plan on creating a scenario based off this election in President Infinity later then making a wikibox from that. More to come!​

The 1997 United Kingdom general election in Ireland was held on 1 May 1997 and all 78 seats were contested under the first-past-the-post electoral system. The general election in Ireland was held in the background of the rest of the country, where Labour won a landslide victory. Whilst the Irish People's Party were expected to maintain their hold on the vast majority of their seats, the Irish Labour Party were hoping to make an unprecedented breakthrough. Previously, the Labour Party in Ireland had never won more than 15 Irish seats, with their vote being mainly restricted to the urban areas of Belfast and Dublin. Labour won 22 seats, almost all in Ulster and Leinster, to win a plurality of the Irish Westminster seats, whilst the IPP lost 8 of their own seats, 6 of which were to Labour, to fall to their lowest total since 1966. The Liberal Democrats, whilst losing votes, won 5 seats thanks to a virtual collapse of the Conservative vote. The 7 seats won by the Conservatives was their lowest total ever in Ireland and all of their seats were located in Protestant areas of Ulster.
